Android Jelly Bean comes with a Google widget that lets you find the name of a song you're listening to. Just like Shazam or SoundHound, except that the widget links to Google Play, so you can quickly buy the song if you're in the US.

Hopefully, Google will release Sound Search as a standalone app or integrate it with Google Play Music and the Voice Search app.
